Answer: (2)
Solution: (2)
Profit ratio of A , B and C $=(12000 \times 4+12000 \times 6):(26000 \times 6+2 \times 26000): 32000$ $\times 10$
$=120000: 208000: 320000$
$=120: 208: 320=15: 26: 40$
Sum of ratios $=15+26+40$ $=81$
$\therefore$ $B’$s share $=\frac{26}{81} \times 53622$ $= \text{₹} 17212$
